Oh really? And here my doctor especially warned about seratonin crisises, saying that there is just about nothing that could be done for a severe one, other than monitoring. I wonder if he was trying to really scare me into complying, or what. Thanks for your input. (I'll still do all possible to avoid either type of crisis!)

No, I've never experienced a hypertensive crisis, or any type of BP rise that I've been able to detect, and I've taken Nardil, Parnate, and Marplan.
